Where is Brady Aiken now? Is he out of baseball?



In the Indians' farm after signing a $2.5m bonus, things worked out well for him, but his situation is completely different from Lange's.

Lets be real here, it's in Lange's best interest to sign.

Even If the cubs are trying to lowball him by making a big deal out of something on a physical, he'd still be signing for significantly more than he would sign were he to get drafted in a similar position as a senior.

If there really is something wrong with him physically, then he better cash out what he can now.

Maybe the Baton Rouge Riverbats can make a comeback with Lange as the headliner.

I remember it was a big deal that Rick Green was playing for the Baton Rouge Blue Marlins in the late 90's.

This doesn't apply to mid to early first rounders, given he improves his draft stock with one more year of improvement, which is a fair assumption.

Is it?

He was a supplemental pick this year, he'd have to pitch balls out next season to be a mid-to-high 1st round pick... especially when teams know they can sign him for cheap due to his lack of leverage if he's not picked with the first 15-20 picks.
